The Kingston Trio - Reverend Mr. Black

I was about 5 or 6 when i first heard this song in the early 60s. It was only NOW at this very moment when I listened to the part where he confronts the lumberjack that I realized something I'd never considered before.Before I always thought the the Reverend Mr. Black allowed the lumberjack to hit him twice then knocked him down in self defense, gave him a chance to walk away. But I realize now that he actually stood there and took the blows only to tell him "You have to walk that lonesome valley, you've got to walk it by yourself, Nobody else can walk it for you...."It was his quiet strength that "knocked him down like a big oak tree", and shamed him for the logger then knew that in front of him stood a REAL man, a man who was trying to walk as Christ walked, a man of quiet courage and faith.Maybe one can can counter the old saying "growing older but no wiser.

The Trio really did a great job of Billy Ed Wheeler's tune! They really like Billy Ed's songs, but then again don't we all!

I wouldn't say that this is my favorite, but it touches me religiously and emotionally the most.
